SQLite (cp the ext DB file) and Postgres (rename/copy schema) recipes. Key trap documented: dbversions is keyed by ext id and m001 drops the legacy v1 tables, so the new install must seed dbversions['spirekeeper'] >= 1 to skip m001 and preserve copied data. Validated on the regtest dev instance (10 tables, 52 dca_payments etc. preserved across boot). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Migrating data: satmachineadmin → spirekeeper
spirekeeper is the v2-bitspire line of the old satmachineadmin extension
split into its own repo, with both identifiers renamed:
| Concern | old (satmachineadmin) |
new (spirekeeper) |
|---|---|---|
| extension id | satmachineadmin |
spirekeeper |
| DB name/schema | satoshimachine |
spirekeeper |
| SQLite file | ext_satoshimachine.sqlite3 |
ext_spirekeeper.sqlite3 |
The table layout is identical — only the schema alias changed. So migrating an existing install is a data move, not a schema change.
The one trap: dbversions + m001's DROP TABLE
migrations.py:m001 begins by dropping the legacy v1 tables
(dca_clients, dca_deposits, dca_payments, lamassu_*) before
recreating the v2 schema. On a fresh spirekeeper install the
dbversions row starts at 0, so the runner executes m001 — which would
drop three tables of any data you just copied in.
dbversions is keyed by extension id. An existing satmachineadmin
install that ran the pre-squash staged migrations sits at version 9
(m001–m009), which is why the later squash to a single m001 never
re-dropped its data (9 ≥ 1 → skip).
Therefore: after copying the data, seed dbversions['spirekeeper'] to
the old install's version (≥ 1) so the runner skips m001. Match the
old value (commonly 9) for fidelity with future migrations.
dbversionslives in the core DB (database.sqlite3/ the core Postgres schema), NOT in the extension DB.
SQLite (default dev + small deployments)
Run with LNbits stopped (so neither DB file is open):
DATA=/path/to/lnbits/data # dir holding database.sqlite3 + ext_*.sqlite3
# 1. Copy the extension data file (tables inside are identical).
cp "$DATA/ext_satoshimachine.sqlite3" "$DATA/ext_spirekeeper.sqlite3"
# 2. Read the old version, seed the new row (upsert) in the CORE db.
OLDVER=$(sqlite3 "$DATA/database.sqlite3" \
"SELECT version FROM dbversions WHERE db='satmachineadmin';")
sqlite3 "$DATA/database.sqlite3" \
"INSERT INTO dbversions (db, version) VALUES ('spirekeeper', $OLDVER)
ON CONFLICT(db) DO UPDATE SET version=excluded.version;"
Start LNbits, enable the spirekeeper extension — it loads at version
$OLDVER, runs no migration, and sees all rows.
Rollback: rm "$DATA/ext_spirekeeper.sqlite3" and
DELETE FROM dbversions WHERE db='spirekeeper';. The old install is
untouched throughout.
Postgres (production)
Both schemas live in the same database. With LNbits stopped:
Option A — cut over (old extension removed on this instance):
ALTER SCHEMA satoshimachine RENAME TO spirekeeper;
INSERT INTO dbversions (db, version)
SELECT 'spirekeeper', version FROM dbversions WHERE db='satmachineadmin'
ON CONFLICT (db) DO UPDATE SET version = excluded.version;
-- optional: DELETE FROM dbversions WHERE db='satmachineadmin';
Option B — coexist (both extensions stay enabled): copy table-by-table into a fresh schema instead of renaming:
CREATE SCHEMA spirekeeper;
-- for each table: super_config, dca_machines, dca_clients, dca_lp,
-- dca_deposits, dca_settlements, dca_commission_splits, dca_payments,
-- dca_telemetry, cassette_configs
CREATE TABLE spirekeeper.<t> (LIKE satoshimachine.<t> INCLUDING ALL);
INSERT INTO spirekeeper.<t> SELECT * FROM satoshimachine.<t>;
-- then the same dbversions upsert as Option A
Start LNbits, enable spirekeeper; m001 is skipped, data intact.
Verify after migration
Row counts in ext_spirekeeper must equal the old install's, and the
LNbits log must show no DROP TABLE for spirekeeper.* on boot:
sqlite3 "$DATA/ext_spirekeeper.sqlite3" \
"SELECT 'dca_payments', COUNT(*) FROM dca_payments
UNION ALL SELECT 'dca_settlements', COUNT(*) FROM dca_settlements
UNION ALL SELECT 'dca_clients', COUNT(*) FROM dca_clients;"
